Track Insight / Lyrics
Salt crust on the lantern glass
Tide charts fade to gray at last
Radio picks up a distant code
Static humming on the road
Gas mask hangs by the kitchen door
Filters spent from the war before
Boots still stained with Volga mud
Drying where the floorboards flood
Signal fire burning low
Guiding trains through nuclear snow
Signal fire, hold the line
Through the dark we'll draw the line
Signal fire, you are mine
Geiger clicks in rhythm now
Like a heart that won't slow down
Aurora's whistle cuts the night
Carving paths toward the light
Signal fire burning low
Guiding trains through nuclear snow
Signal fire, hold the line
Through the dark we'll draw the line
Signal fire, you are mine
Mushroom clouds bloom in memory
Children cough in dormitory
But the beam sweeps true and wide
Cutting through the turning tide
Home is where the light decides
Tunnels breathe with fungal air
Spores like dust in moonlight fair
Artyom walks the point alone
Carrying a world unknown
Novosibirsk falls behind
Dead city left to snow and wind
Tracks stretch out to morning's gate
Running hard and running late
Signal fire burning low
Guiding trains through nuclear snow
Signal fire, hold the line
Through the dark we'll draw the line
Signal fire, you are mine
Lamp trimmed clean and wick turned high
Watch the signal paint the sky
Signal fire burns through night
Guiding us to morning light
